The 2015 Interior Architecture and Design Graduation Project challenges the notion of existing building structures which operate on a large scale. Infrastructures such as a listed ruin, disused sea forts, a train viaduct and other derelict buildings are now revitalised through a consistent process of spatial experimentation. The results of the Project reveal an array of design proposals and encompass a variety of solutions for different users: from trainee pilots to street performers, and from the fashionistas to the decease. The intention throughout the process has been to discover, emphasise and expose the intimate idiosyncrasies of each location in order to create unique experiences and narratives within the locational contexts.

Broomfield House: A Glimpse into the Past Broomfield House, located in Palmers Green, North London, was badly damaged in a fire in 1984. The design proposal centres on the regeneration of Broomfield House as a Heritage Centre with links to the historical heritage of the house. A re-connection with the past is created by defining the proposed layout in terms of the historic adaptation of the house and the ‘memory’ of the decayed fabric.

The railway arches will be converted into a costume design venue where you can find all the facilities. The silkworm cocoon is the perfect narrative that represents the similar design development/ transformation process within each arch just like the transformation of caterpillar to cocoon and the butterfly representing the finished new product.

Connection is life; disconnection, death. What is death? Death is when one person totally lost connection with another person whether it is a physical connection or a mental connection. To me, as long as the person lives in our heart, they are not dead. It is just the way we are connected has change. Therefore, death is not an end; death is another beginning of how people are connected. Crematorium is a place where people celebrates the end of a human life, it should not be depressive, it should be a place to heal people’s heart. The end of a human’s life is not the end of the connection between humans. Sy Yong Interior Architecture & Design

This course is led by an award winning teaching team. We love design and obsess with exploring new ideas and new ways of making things. Our students study in a diverse, multi-cultural and creative environment. They learn to transform different types of buildings with new functions. Through design, they improve the quality of people’s lives by giving them a better place to live, work and play. Students work with our contacts in industry on live projects, such as, Hong Kong Harbour Plaza Metropolis Hotel, Rugby Football Union with real budgets, real sites, and to be built and enjoyed by the public. Students also meet big names such as, Will Alsop and Peter Cook, and network with our partners in the Hertfordshire Association of Architects. We also enjoy visiting our friends around the world, in such places as, Japan, Russia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and New York and look at beautiful architecture and design.
